Um. I think I've learned how to use my Darkblood powers.

The only question now is how do I turn them off?!

[Nosferatmew and Mewnos: The Paws of Fate float on past the screen, each batcat not flapping its wings as a variety of other things in Lexi's bedroom float past Lexi, the batcats completely chill.

Looking for people who can also help me test the rest of my abilities, too. If not, I'll be back in the Satellite of Love tomorrow!

I'd recommend giving it a try when you're in a good mood and around a friend or two who can help you out if you feel like you're having a bad time. You can't go wrong with a funny movie, dim lights, a bunch of snacks, and a big glass of water.

And that's only if you want to give it another try.

[anobserver]

Okay. So until I get this [she points upwards to the flying table lamp] covered, I need to just, I don't know. At the risk of an outdated Disney meme, let it go?

And I'm always looking for an excuse for a funny movie. Or a so bad it's funny movie. Those ones are my favorites.

[fogsong]

Absolutely, let it go, Lexi. [ she has never seen frozen but she's heard the song. ]

I don't know too many 'so bad it's funny' movies, actually, but weed would probably enhance them if you can find it in you to pay attention.

[anobserver]

[and Lexi chuckles. she's pretty sure everyone on the planet has heard that song, ad nauseum]

Wait, you've never seen 'The Room?' Or 'Birdemic?' Or the entire Neal Breen catalogue? This needs to be taken care of.

[fogsong]

Afraid not. I wouldn't mind being educated, though.

[anobserver]

Holy shit, I've been telling my girlfriend I need to set up a Trench-wide shitty movie night, now it's like. A public service thing. Everyone needs to be enthralled by the truly shittackular special effects in 'Birdemic.'

[fogsong]

I think that's a great idea. Plus, it'll help with everyone's corruption.

[anobserver]

So, shitty movie and a great way to reverse corruption and getting to know more people! This is like. The best idea ever!

[and all of the objects fall to the floor.

to the sound of audible crashing and shattering]

...well, shit.

[fogsong]

[ the sound startles her but she ends up laughing out loud after ]

Well, look at that!

[anobserver]

[Lexi looks sheepish for a moment before bursting out in laughter herself]

Mmmmmaybe it's somehow tied into emotions? I dunno, I've never done it before! [while still laughing]

[fogsong]

It is absolutely tied into emotions but, hey, now that you know you can practice!

[anobserver]

Sounds good! Well, not exactly good, I'm shitty when it comes to confronting my own emotions, but it's a start?

[fogsong]

It's definitely a start. Just start practicing. When your powers go haywire, take notes about what triggered it and notes about what helped bring it all back under control. You'll be tossing people around in no time.

[anobserver]

Well, I definitely know what triggered it, absolute confusion. But I'll have to see if I can find other emotions or states of mind which might work as well.

[fogsong]

If you ever need some help, let me know. I'm not a Darkblood but I've got plenty of weird powers that fall in a similar realm.

[anobserver]

Really? That would be so helpful, I can't even tell you.

[fogsong]

Just gimme a call whenever you need me.

[anobserver]

Will do! Thanks again, I really appreciate it!
